Annoyingly, his obiturary ends with a half-finished sentence (If it were not for....), implying something terrible (other than dying) happened.....does anyone know?

According to Obituary: Nico Colchester - Obituaries, News - The Independent it appears old Nico took the final taxi after collapsing after a training run.

Ting is, poor Nico pegged out many years ago. I wonder if his diet was to blame...

One lot wear skirts around their waists, the others on their heads & you can't understand a bloody word either says.

50/50 I reckon.

Better wearing a 'skirt' than running around doing morris dancing...

Mars bars make a good alternative currency, and unlike gold, you can eat them.

FT.com - Special Reports / Nico Colchester

In my own effort to regain my financial bearings I have become increasingly addicted to the Mars Bar. The Mars Bar is a currency for our time: it is a long-established basket of staple commodities (cocoa, vegetable fats, milk solids, sugar) packaged with great consistency in the form of an ingot. As such it is a reliable unit of account certainly more reliable than gold, which is prone to speculation and it preserves a remarkably constant real value. I have measured my wealth in Mars Bars since an early age, though the motive for doing so has changed.

I was working at Mars, many years back, when news came to us that the short, ginger folk north of Berwick were selling deep-fried Mars Bars in their chip shops. We got a box of freshly minted MB's off the production line, and got a chippy in Slough to deep fry them for us, purely as a testing exercise.

They were gorgeous.

I heard someone tried to deep fry a Christmas cake.

Strange I heard it was someone from Dumbarton with too much curry.

Explosion in Scottish Forest

I always advise those visiting Jockshire to watch out for the evil, ugly, violent, prevalent, dangerous blood-sucking parasites. The midges can be quite bad, too.

[BoredBloke]

Perhaps it was the real sound a tree makes when its falling and it thought that there was nobody around to hear it!

[Old Greg]

Daily Mail readers exploding from indignation.

Gotta love the Wail's take on it though.

How times have changed. One of my schoolmates was responsible for many a loud bang during his teens, and it was taken for granted that this was the sort of thing young lads with curious minds get up to.

indeed..

Bombs detonating in Scotland - these extremists must be found and brought to the attention of the government so that they can be paid any compensation for loss of materials.

I think they call it benefits...
